History

  • 2011: Année de construction

The same river, a year later

AmaVerde entered service in 2011, a year after its sister. The same 135-metre hull, the same 161 guests in 85 cabins, the same twin balcony. Both ships work the Danube and take turns on the same routes between Budapest, Vilshofen and Romania.

Our count on 26 August 2026 found 139 departure dates for this one. The choice between the two therefore comes down to date and itinerary, not to the ship: they offer the same product.

What is deceptive about the Austrian Danube

The Wachau valley, between Melk and Krems, is the river's postcard. It is also the busiest stretch of river cruising in Europe. On a June morning several ships tie up at the same quay, sometimes two or three abreast, and you cross a neighbour's lounge to get ashore.

That is not a failing of the line, it is geography: the Austrian quays are short and demand is strong. Knowing it before you leave changes your reaction when it happens. Itineraries that push downstream suffer from it far less.

Seven or eight countries

The long routes cross Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania. Formalities differ from one country to the next, and the ship handles them, but your passport travels. Have it valid well beyond your return date.

The other ships in the fleet

AmaBella is its direct sister. AmaLea and AmaMagna also work the Danube, and AmaReina links that river to the Rhine.

The fare, line by line

It covers life aboard: the cabin, all meals, wine and beer at lunch and dinner, soft drinks at any hour, a daily cocktail, and a guided excursion at every port. Wi-Fi is included. The European ships carry bicycles, available during port calls.

Excursions are chosen by effort level: gentle, regular or active. The active level means walking a long way, often uphill and on cobbles. The gentle level exists for a reason, and nobody will judge you for taking it.

Two items stay on your account: gratuities, included on no destination, and air travel, unless bought through the line's air programme. Putting both in the budget at the outset avoids the unpleasant surprise of the last day.

What life aboard assumes

An adult clientele, days shaped by the port calls, short evenings. No children's club, no childcare, no youth activities. Minors share a cabin with a responsible adult, and the minimum age depends on the destination.

The lift links the main decks without reaching the sun deck. Boarding is by a gangway whose slope changes from quay to quay, and sometimes by crossing another ship. These are details as long as you walk well, and real obstacles otherwise.

What a Quebec agency protects

A licence from Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur, a trust account for the sums received, and the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents. Three verifiable things, and the licence number appears on your contract. A booking made outside Quebec gives no right to them.

To that add what the law does not provide: someone who answers when a connection collapses on a Sunday night and the ship leaves the next morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Danube, between Budapest, Vilshofen and Romania. It alternates with its sister on the same routes, so the choice comes down to the date rather than the ship.
Our inventory measured 139 departure dates on 26 August 2026, across 2026, 2027 and 2028, including several long routes to the lower Danube.
A hundred and sixty-one guests in 85 cabins, the original configuration of the 135-metre series delivered between 2010 and 2015.
Yes, and it is better known in advance. In the Wachau in high season several ships tie up at the same quay, sometimes two or three abreast, and you cross a neighbour's lounge to get ashore.
Because the Austrian quays are short and demand is strong. It is not particular to one line: it is the geography of the river. Itineraries heading downstream suffer far less.
Seven or eight on the long routes: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania. Have a passport valid well beyond your return date.
In 2011, a year after its sister. It belongs to the first wave of 135-metre hulls, the one that introduced the twin balcony.
A cabin opening both onto a sliding glass wall and onto a real outdoor balcony, with a floor and chairs. The line's 110-metre hulls do not have one.
Ordinary service is; gratuities are not. That is a real difference from several river lines in the same category, and it is sometimes discovered too late.
Yes, unless you go through the line's air programme. Either way, plan a night on the ground before embarkation rather than a tight connection.
Gentle for a slow pace and little walking, regular for moderate activity, active for sustained walking with stairs and slopes. The gentle level exists for a reason, and nobody will judge you for taking it.
It depends on the destination, and published sources do not agree on a single figure. Have the minimum age confirmed for the date and ship you have in mind before booking.
No, and that is the point worth weighing: the sun deck is reached by stair, and it is the place the river is best seen from.
Yes, free to use during port calls. The Danube cycle path follows the river almost without a break along the whole Austrian stretch.
For the trust account and the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents, neither of which follows a booking made elsewhere. Add someone who answers when a connection collapses the day before departure.
